Thistlefield, began life in 2002, born out of a passion for plants, Thistlefield Plants was created. The business was established in a field in Norfolk, which was overrun with weeds and thistles, hence our name. A nursery was set up growing a range of plants, mainly perennials from the everyday varieties to the more unusual. Over time the business has grown and diversified in late 2002 the landscaping side of the business was established and is now the biggest part of the business. In 2007 Thistlefield Soup was set up, now known as Thistlefield Food, and now supplies many Restaurants, Café’s, Farm shops and mail order customers with Jams, Chutney and Christmas puddings for catering purposes or retail. Finally after several months of alterations and decoration, in Spring 2019, East View was completed and available to rent as a holiday cottage.
So now there are three parts of the business: Landscaping & Plants, Food and the Holiday property. But they are all run, with the same principles in mind, excellent quality of service, providing a great product, yet still giving value for money, whichever part of the business you come in to contact with.
